Actions

    All seventeen Actions

    Every Action NearField ships, grouped by the job it does. Each entry says what the block asks you for, what happens on the visitor's phone when they tap, and which plan it needs.

    Updated 15 October 20267 min read

    Seventeen Actions, sorted here by what you are trying to achieve rather than by price. The plan badge on each entry is the plan visitors need to see it. A free account builds with every Action up to Growth, and the 14-day trial shows them once your page is live; on a paid plan below the badge, the picker shows a plan chip and opens your upgrade options instead of adding the block.

    Finishes something in one tapThe answer is remembered
    Filter to Action for the seventeen below, or to a plan to see what your tier includes. This reads from the product, not from a hand-written list.

    Contact and arrival

    CallFree
    A button that dials you. The visitor taps and their phone opens the dialler with your number in it. Takes a phone number, an optional heading and an optional hours note under the button. Deliberately does not offer a notification: a Call fires constantly and carries no message.
    Text UsStarter
    Opens the visitor's messaging app with your number and a message already typed. They see the message before they tap, in a panel headed Your message. It only reaches you if they press send.
    Save ContactStarter
    Adds your details to their phone. The block renders a small business card (name, role, organisation, tappable phone and email) and the button downloads a standard .vcf contact file. Inside Instagram's or LinkedIn's built-in browser the file saves rather than opening, so visitors there are shown a line telling them to open the page in Safari or Chrome.
    DirectionsFree
    Opens the right maps app for their phone: Apple Maps on iPhone, Google Maps on everything else, using the installed app when there is one. Search for the address in the editor and NearField keeps the coordinates, which beat a text address when a venue is hard to geocode.
    A Save Contact block rendered as a small business card: the name Dana Whitfield, the role Innkeeper, the organisation The Bellhaven Inn, then a tappable phone number, email address and website link, above a full-width "Save to my phone" button.
    Save Contact draws the card as well as offering the download, so the details are readable even if the visitor never taps.

    Handing something over

    Guest Wi-FiFree
    Shows the network name and a password panel that copies on tap, then tells them where to paste it. An open network renders as This is an open network, so no password is needed. Switch on Show a QR for laptops and visitors get a scannable panel for a device that has no browser on it. NearField deliberately does not generate Apple configuration profiles: they need an annually renewed certificate and break inside in-app browsers.
    FileFree
    Hands over a document. A PDF opens inside the Experience with a Download instead link underneath; anything else is a plain download, because there is nothing sensible to draw for a .docx. Menus, spec sheets, floor plans, class schedules.
    Add to CalendarGrowth
    Builds a standard calendar file on the visitor's phone and downloads it. Needs an event name and a start time; leave the end blank and the event defaults to one hour. Works on every phone, with no account linking.
    View in AREnterprise
    Places an object in the visitor's room. Needs two files, a .usdz for iPhone and a .glb for Android, because neither format works on the other platform. No app install and no SDK. A desktop visitor is told to open the page on a phone rather than given a dead button.
    A Guest Wi-Fi block headed "Guest Wi-Fi". A Network panel names Bellhaven-Guest beside a Wi-Fi icon; a second panel labelled "Password · tap to copy" shows riverhouse2026 in monospace with a copy icon. Below sits a Copy password button, the line "Then open Settings → Wi-Fi, tap Bellhaven-Guest, and paste", a "Connecting a laptop or tablet?" link, and a note that the network resets nightly at 4 AM.
    The password panel copies on tap, and the line underneath tells the visitor exactly where to paste it.

    Collecting something back

    Lead CaptureStarter
    An inline form asking for a name, an email, a phone number, or any combination, with optional consent text. Can deliver a file after submit and can refuse a second claim from the same person. It has an article of its own.
    Review & FeedbackGrowth
    A star row, then a Google review link, then a private feedback box. Every visitor sees the review link whatever they rated you: routing only happy visitors to Google breaches Google's review policies and puts your listing at risk, so NearField does not offer it. The private note goes to you and nowhere else.
    WaiverGrowth
    The visitor reads your terms, types their name, ticks the box and agrees. A signed waiver can follow them across your whole space so nobody signs twice. See waivers and signatures.
    RequestGrowth
    The visitor picks what they need from a short list, optionally types a room or table number, and taps. By default it goes straight to you: a push to the NearField app and an email to your account address, with nothing for the visitor to send. Covered in booking and requests.

    Taking money

    DonateFree
    Suggested amounts, an Other amount option, and a redirect to Stripe Checkout. Funds settle to your own Stripe account.
    PayFree
    The same machine framed as a transaction. Set one fixed price or let them choose, and add a reference field (a room number, a table, an invoice) so you can reconcile what came in.

    Sending them onward

    Action HubFree
    Two to five outcomes in one block: call, directions, a menu, a Wi-Fi page, Instagram, any link. The most-requested thing in the legacy install base, and the right answer when someone wants the basics on a single Marker. More than five stops being one tap, so the editor caps it there.
    BookEnterprise
    Opens your booking system. Calendly, Square, Mindbody, anything with a link. NearField does not run the calendar: this hands off cleanly to the one you already keep.
    An Action Hub headed "Everything in this gallery" with four full-width rows, each with its own icon: a document icon beside "Large-print gallery guide", a phone icon beside "Call the welcome desk", a navigation arrow beside "Find the touch pool", and a globe beside "Plan your visit".
    Four outcomes, one block. Each row keeps the icon of the thing it does, so the list reads at a glance.

    In an emergency

    Safety CardGrowth
    A large red button dialling your emergency number, then a stack of short facts (where the defibrillator is, where the nearest exit is) and an optional site-manager number. Deliberately high-contrast and short, because someone reading it is in a hurry. This is the one Action that can never be put behind phone verification: emergency information must never be gated.
    A Safety Card headed "If you need help in this gallery", noting that staff are stationed at both ends of the room in high-visibility lanyards. A wide red "Call 911" button sits above three labelled facts (AED location, nearest exit and quiet room) each written as a short direction. A further green button begins below, cut off by the dark Inclusion Bar at the foot of the screen.
    Short lines, one red button, no reading required. Everything on it answers a question somebody is asking while standing up.

    Where phones differ

    Four Actions behave differently depending on the phone or the browser the visitor is in. NearField handles this for you, but knowing it saves a confusing support call.

    ActioniPhoneAndroidInside an in-app browser
    DirectionsApple MapsGoogle MapsOpens the maps site rather than the app
    Text UsMessage prefillsMessage prefillsUsually fine; the visitor still has to press send
    Save ContactOpens the contact cardDownloads the fileSaves as a file, with a prompt to reopen the page in Safari or Chrome
    View in ARAR Quick LookScene ViewerFalls back to the model file
    Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Snapchat, Pinterest, TikTok, LINE and WhatsApp all ship their own browser. NearField detects all nine.

    Can I ask visitors to verify their phone before an Action hands something over?

    On Growth and above, yes, for most of them: Guest Wi-Fi, File, Add to Calendar, Book, View in AR, Action Hub and Waiver. Lead Capture and Safety Card are excluded on purpose: asking someone to verify a phone number in order to reach a form asking for their email is a wall in front of a door, and safety information must never be gated.

    Which Actions can tell me when someone uses them?

    Lead Capture, Waiver, Request and Review & Feedback. The ones that merely open something (Wi-Fi, Directions, Call, Add to Calendar) carry no message and fire constantly, which is the fastest way to teach yourself to swipe notifications away without reading them.

    Is the seventeen going to change?

    The library above reads from the product, not from a hand-written list, so when a block is added it appears there on the next deploy with its real name and plan.
